A murky dark orange and brown beer with a huge light tan head. The dense foam decorates the glass and stays until the bottom.

At first I smell tropical hops, but it seems fleeting, as a warm malt and rye scent takes over.

A bitter rye and hop flavor is the first part of the taste, with mild malt in the middle. The end has a flash of those tropical hops, and it has a very nice dry rye aftertaste. Bold and complex. Rye is present almost throughout, yet not overpowering.

A medium full bodied beer, combined with good carbonation that leaves a nice sticky bitter feeling.

A fine beer, my only complaint is the color and murkiness, but other than that, great flavor and good balance. Not overly rye, yet it's there in almost all components.

P: Light cloudy amber color. Lots of carbonation. Huge head that hung around for awhile. N: Citrus, hoppy, and rye were all blended nicely.T: This had everything you look for in a well crafted IPA. What set it apart for me was the well balanced rye presence. It smoothed out the bitterness of the hops and gave it a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste.M: Refreshing and medium bodied. Not thick or heavy on the palate. I got through a 22oz bottle with no problem.

This is a really gorgeous pour with a clear amber body and a really creamy white head that leaves delicate lacing on the side and shows absurd retention. The head refuses to go away.

Aroma is light citrus with some lemongrass and orange zest. There is also a hint of the spicy rye and some white grapefruit.

Taste is even better with the citrus coming through even stronger, with the grapefruit featuring up front with some floral pine as well. The rye is more prevalent in the finish where there is a spiciness which compliments the sticks hops nicely.

The mouthfeel is very creamy with the rye smoothing out the bitterness a bit.

I'm definitely impressed by this one which is one of the better IPAs I've had recently. Love the combination of juicy citrus and spicy rye.

I'm a sucker for rye beers with a lot of rye character such as Bruery Rugbrød and Founders Red's Rye PA. Hops On Rye to me does not dish out all that much rye character, but its influence is blended in perfectly with the over-the-top hop load in this beer. So my review of this beer is really that of an IPA, of which Hops On Rye is an excellent example. In addition to a masterful layering of hop flavors & aromas it delivers an assertively bitter and slightly spicy finish that really adds dimension to this beer. It's not often that I want a second round of the same beer, but this one really does it for me.

A: Pours a clear, reddish amber with beige head. Decent retention, with no lace down the sides of the pint glass.

S: Mild citrus aromas of orange and grapefruit, with a little graininess. I remember the bottle being more evocative, and I'm surprised by how muted the scent is. Surprisingly, it's not served super-cold, so it's not a temperature issue.

T: Like the nose, the taste is lacking. It goes down easily, leading with flavors of orange, grapefruit, and a touch of rye bite. The finish has a mild bitterness.

M: Medium-bodied. It's a little undercarbed, almost like it's on cask, except it's not, and it doesn't have the flavor to pass for cask conditioning.

O: I remember the bottle being better. The tap version (or at least this batch) is unremarkable.

Chill hazed dark orange colored beer with a medium sized tan colored head. On the dark end of the IPA Orange spectrum.

Smell is strong hops more grapefruit and eucalyptus than pine. Spicy sandalwood smell. Some malt does squeak by the hop load.

Starts out mildly sweet with a strong hop flavor. Tastes a bit savory. Bitter citrus oils on a wooden tongue depressor taste. Slight sour rye taste but honestly this is all about the hops. Not a lot of subtle flavors here, just straight in your face AIPA.

Mouthfeel is good.

Overall a good IPA I would order if I ever saw it on bar tap. Only downside is that it has no subtly to it, just balls to the wall IPA.
